Held Liable Reasonable Care
1,001 words
Harm is easily defined when it is intentional;
after all, no one would push you down the steps or
purposely cause you to wreck your car. Negligence
is an area of tort law that involves unintentional
acts that can cause harm and is just as easily
identified. The boundaries governing liabilities
for negligence, however, are much narrower than
that of intentional torts. The difference is that
the respondent in a negligent action is performing
a task, which is considered perfectly acceptable
in ever...

in their new models for the driver. Beginning in
1998, driver- and passenger-side air bags have
been required by law for all new cars in the
United States. The air bag, however, was not born

that Paul McCartney had indeed died in a tragic
auto accident in late 1966. Some people were
skeptical about the explanation, but upon
investigating the album covers and the lyrics of

Airline Industry Low Fares
1,746 words
The airline industry has been subject of intense
price competition since it was deregulated, and
the result has been a number of new carriers which
specialize in regional service and no-frills
operations. These carriers typically purchase
older aircraft and often operate outside the
industry-wide computerized reservations system. In
exchange for these inconveniences, passengers
receive low fares relative to the industry as a
whole. This research examines two low fare air
carriers, Valu Jet and S...

Characters In The Film Give The Audience Struggle

In the film Alive, struggle is shown in a very
explicit and raw sense; it shows how many
different ways people deal with struggle. A
European rugby team crashes down in the Andes, and
they each struggle with the instant physical
change in their own way. This film is very
different in the way it presents struggle. Most of
the film shots are medium-close, and the music is
fairly constant. Thus it is up to the actors to
present struggle within the film. The director
uses many different techniques t...

and one which spread to virtually all of the
industrialized world. Seeing the order in which
